Being nominated is awesome. In this case, it is double awesome. I have been nominated for both the Summer Sun Award and the Award... Because they are similar in nature, I am going to break the rules and combine them into one.

I was nominated for the summer sun award by the talented Ally Shields. Please stop by and learn more about her and wonderful urban fantasy series.

To accept the award, the only requirements are to display the sunny logo, link back to the person who nominated you, and make 7 sunny secret "confessions." Sounds like fun to me!

1. Favorite song with summer in the title or the words (give the words)Too fun! Can't think of too many songs I love with summer, but this is one...

"Summer Girls" by LFO

Yeah...I like it when the girls stop by.. In the summerDo you remember, Do you remember?...when we met..That summer??[Chorus:]New Kids On The block,had a bunch of hitsChinese food makes me sick.And I think it's fly when girls stop by for the summer,for the summerI like girls that wear Abercrombie and Fitch,I'd take her if I had one wish,But she's been gone since that summer..Since that summer

2. Favorite summer film: This is tough... I don't even think I know a movie with "summer" in it... besides, "I Know What you did Last Summer," and I certainly won't list that. :) Hmmm... I guess I will have to say a more generic $1 summer movies. I enjoy seeing these with the family and enjoying a special mid-week treat.

3. Favorite summer memory: I LOVE summer! It is full of beach trips, hiking, playing at parks, and family fun. It is about adventures and living life to the fullest.

4. Favorite summer holiday destination: Cannon beach. This is a wonderful beach that has both the sand, waves, sun, tidal pools, and a little something else... the Goonies Rock. Ok, it's really called Haystack rock, but I love it. It reminds me of childhood fun, fantasy and adventure.

5. What books will be in your suitcase this summer? Eek... I have been saying it for months, but I really am going to read the Hunger Games. haha.

6. What's your likely destination this summer?We have a road trip planned to CA, to visit family, and a lot of local beach trips.

7. What hottie would you most like to be sharing the hot days and long nights with this summer?That's easy. :) My husband. He is and always has been the man of my dreams.

Thanks again Ally for nominating me. This has been lots of fun.

Now for the fun of the Sunshine Award. I want to thank K.N. Lee for nominating me for the Sunshine Award. She is another wonderfully talented author and friend.

So, first I need to share 10 bits of information about myself! This will be fun!

1. I am a huge Bon Jovi fan. Several times, there have been moments of clarity while listening and rocking out to him. 2. I was the Secretary of the Star Trek Club in high school… Yes, I am a total TNG (The Next Generation) fan!3. My favorite meal is a juicy burger and fries. Sometimes the simple pleasures are the easiest.4. I love hiking and being outdoors.5. My first “real” job was working in the forests of Oregon.6. I am a big believer in adventures, stemming from the travels of my youth, being an exchange student, and watching goonies a few too many times.7. I can play Super Mario Brothers 3 without losing 1 life. Favorite game of all time.8. I am loyal to a fault to my favorites…

I am crazy for sparkles of any sort... and now, I know how to make my own. If you are looking for a fun activity, look no further. Create your own dazzling geodes! Maybe these are the treasures the Easter Bunny hides in the yard, the hidden treasure at the end of the rainbow, your own personal archaeological find... you can turn this into an activity or a fantasy adventure.

INTRODUCTIONGeodes can be grown in a variety of colors, or without using dye. This craft offers the opportunity to show kids the crystallization process at work.

Start by blowing out a large white chicken egg and splitting it in half, lengthwise. The egg can be cracked by striking it against a surface or cut with a small pair of scissors. Make sure the inside of the eggshell is clean and dry.

With a small paintbrush, apply white glue to the inside and cracked edges of each half of the eggshell and sprinkle with alum powder until completely coated. Set eggshell halves aside to dry overnight.

The next day, prepare your growing solution in a glass or plastic container by using a craft stick or spoon to mix 2 cups of very hot water (almost boiling) with an entire packet of powdered egg dye. Be sure to wear latex gloves to protect your hands from the dye. Tip: Liquid food coloring can also be used to dye the geode -- 30 to 40 drops will adequately saturate the solution.

Add 3/4 cup of alum powder to the hot dye bath and stir until completely dissolved. If there are remaining crystals in the bottom of the container, place the solution in the microwave for a few minutes to dissolve them. This will prevent alum from being drawn away from the geode.

Once the alum is completely dissolved, let the solution cool slightly (for about 30 minutes) and then submerge one of the dried, alum-coated eggshells in the growing solution, allowing it to rest on the bottom of the container with the inside of the shell facing up.

Set the container aside in a safe place overnight to allow the crystals to grow undisturbed. The longer the eggshell is in the solution, the larger the crystals in the geode will be. Twelve to 15 hours will usually result in a perfect geode.

The next day, remove the geode from the growing solution very carefully (as wet crystals are quite fragile), being sure to wear latex gloves to prevent the dye from staining your hands. If you are not satisfied with the size of your geode crystals, return the geode to the growing solution and wait a day or two. As water evaporates from the solution, more alum will be deposited in your geode, increasing the size of the crystals.

Place your geode on a drying rack or newspaper and allow to dry completely before handling.

To grow a second geode in the other half of the eggshell, simply re-dissolve the crystals remaining at the bottom of the growing solution in the microwave and follow the instructions above starting at step 5.

It is that time again... time for the summer Blogger Book Fair. This year is HUGE. This year over 140 different authors have signed up to share their books, stories, and inspiration with you. I invite you to check out everyone's books and find something to fit into your summer reading plans.

Lichgates

“The writing is flawless. The kingdoms and surrounding landscapes breathtaking. The Grimoire is a piece of imaginative genius that bedazzles from the moment Kara falls into the land of Ourea.

Kara Magari is about to discover a beautiful world full of terrifying things—Ourea. Kara, a college student still reeling from her mother’s recent death, has no idea the hidden world of Ourea even exists until a freak storm traps her in a sunken library. With nothing to do, she opens an ancient book of magic called the Grimoire and unwittingly becomes its master, which means Kara now wields the cursed book’s untamed power. Discovered by Ourea's royalty, she becomes an unwilling pawn in a generations-old conflict—a war intensified by her arrival. In this world of chilling creatures and betrayal, Kara shouldn’t trust anyone… but she’s being hunted and can’t survive on her own. She drops her guard when Braeden, a native soldier with a dark secret, vows to keep her safe. And though she doesn’t know it, her growing attraction to him may just be her undoing. For twelve years, Braeden Drakonin has lived a lie. The Grimoire is his one chance at redemption, and it lands in his lap when Kara Magari comes into his life. Though he begins to care for this human girl, there is something he wants more. He wants the Grimoire. Welcome to Ourea, where only the cunning survive.

Summer is here! Time to run around and play with the little kiddos. Here is a fun craft that can be enjoyed inside and out. Perfect for imagination, play, and dress-up.

The Summer Wind CatcherCut a length of crepe paper no more than 14" and roll it up, leaving an inch or two free at the top. Use your scissors to make two to three cuts across the fold. If your kiddo is a scissors novice, you can draw two lines for them to cut on. Unroll the crepe paper and shake it up. You now have a nifty mini-pom of sorts. Repeat for each color of crepe paper you choose to use. We used five colors.

Gather up your streamers and twist at one end. Hold streamers against stick and wrap a length of tape around and around. They can even paint them up if you like.

Give your wind catcher a shake and take it outside for a spin! Have fun!

Last week we talked with Mrs. D, and learned all about her wonderful background, and inspiring tales of writing. If you missed that story, you can read it here. This week, I am proud to continue my feature on her with reviewing one of her more recent stories, The City Kittens and the Old House Cat

The City Kittens and the Old House CatA cute Christmas story told from the perspective of a cat, Nyda. When two new kittens come to celebrate the holidays, Nyda gets a little more than she imagined. This is a wonderful story about love, compassion, and celebrating the joy of Christmas. The illustrations are wonderful, and help bring the story to life. It is a happy story that illustrates how similar we are all, even our pets, and how wonderful it is to love, and to help. A great story with a positive message, a perfect addition to the holiday library, and holiday traditions. Perfect for the family and all animal lovers.

This Friday Fantasy Fun is all about fireworks. Even though the 4th is officially over, the fun does not have to stop. There is always time to celebrate and enjoy bright colors and fun activities.This craft recreates the bursts of cascading color we see with fireworks displays by using a few basic ingredients you likely already have in your cabinets.

Have fun & remember to look for the magic.

What you will need:

Glass jar

Food coloring in assorted colors

Vegetable oil

Fork

Small bowl

Directions

Fill the jar three-quarters full with warm water.

In a separate bowl, add three to four tablespoons of oil. Add several drops of food coloring in various colors to the bowl of oil. Use a fork to mix the oil and food coloring together until small beads of color form.

Slowly pour the oil mixture into the jar of water.

Make sure the kids are watching what happens next. As the liquids combine, the food coloring will slowly sink out of the oil and into the water. When this happens, it will expand and begin to mix with the other colors, creating a cascading "fireworks" effect.

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to talk with Mrs. D and read her wonderful book, The Trees have Hearts. My review of that book is here. I also wanted to share with you some wonderful insights to this great lady. Sit back, relax, and meet my friend, Mrs. D.Did you always want to be a writer?I think I was born with a pen in my hands. I grew up in west Ukraine, which was then part of the Soviet Union, and I lived on a farm in a small village nestled in the beautiful Carpathian Mountains until I was sixteen. Growing up without TV or toys, I learned to read by the age of four, but I had no children’s books to read. My parents were peasants, preoccupied with one thought—how to feed their children. Buying books was not on their list of things to do. Left without books, I read my father’s newspapers and wrote on cartons, cardboard boxes, stable walls, old magazines, or just in my head, until one day I discovered a tiny village library. Then books became a huge part of my life. The village library had a few worn-out children’s books, most of them without illustrations. To satisfy my hunger for reading, I reread these books many times. Soon there were no children’s books in the library that I had not read. Annoying the librarian, I asked for thick books meant for serious readers. She did not mind, and I started reading everything I could carry home. Memorizing words, phrases, and pages, I felt as if I were living in a different world, one that was free, brighter, and kinder. At six, I wrote my first poem. I loved how words made me feel. Beautifully swirling in my head, looking for freedom, they created amazing pictures, providing comfort and escape. Writing, I learned to block out the harsh reality of the life I was born into. My fantasies took me to the heights, where no one could reach me, and to places which belonged only to me. My imagination made me forget about the unfair world around me, the toys I never had, and food I did not know existed. In high school, I showed my writing to my father, hoping he would support my dream of becoming a journalist. He looked at my notebooks and said, “Forget about writing. You cannot feed yourself with books. Go where the food is.” It was harsh but fair advice. As a farmer’s daughter, I had a slim chance of following my dream and becoming a writer. The Soviet Union was very corrupt, run by one party. Without connections and money, there was no way I could enter a prestigious college and find decent work. I entered Lviv Business College and tried to make it on my own in the big city. After I finished college, I worked in the food industry, but I never lost my passion for reading and writing. I wrote many poems and short stories in both Ukrainian and Russian, hoping that one day I could publish them. Sadly, that day never arrived. After the Soviet Union crumbled, I left Ukraine with my two little daughters and immigrated to the USA. Allowed to bring two bags each, I packed family pictures and some clothing for the children, and left behind my thick notebooks with endless notes written over the years. When we arrived in New Jersey, I stopped writing and concentrated on my new language and life. Once in a while, nostalgia for writing overwhelmed me and I wrote sad poems, sending them to my mother. Reading her letters, I could see spots where her tears had fallen. Struggling to make it in a new country, I buried my desire for writing and wrote only in my head or made up stories for my children. For many years, my need for writing would not let me sleep. One beautiful morning, I pulled out my daughter’s old computer and with two fingers started typing my first story, “The Little Girl Praying on the Hill.” This story has many emotional ties to my early childhood. It reminded me of how happy I was when I wrote my first poem on a piece of old newspaper. It rekindled the fire inside me. Luckily, I never suffered from writer’s block, and I kept writing as often as I could. My imagination never betrayed me either. In my heart, I am still the same little girl with a huge hunger for fantasies. As long as I can look at the world through the eyes of a child, I will write children’s books.Wow! That is quite the journey your life has taken. I am glad you found your way back to writing. What inspires you to write?I often think of what inspires authors to write good books. Countless little things can inspire a writer to write a great story or poem. Inspiration is amazing, and a good writer knows how to convey it to readers. For some writers the inspiration lasts for a split second, and for others it can last a lifetime. When I read well-written phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or stories, I relive the author’s inspiration. Each of us carries an untold story, waiting for its time. Life itself provides beautiful inspiration; we just have to look around us.You have written quite a few books, how do you find the time. Do you have a daily writing routine/schedule?I do not write just to write. I do not write to create a few thousand words each day. I write when I feel, when emotions slowly transform themselves into words and then quickly overload my mind, forming sentences and paragraphs, until I let them out. I write when I am in a happy, sad, angry, or melancholy mood, or just have something to say or share with the reader. I do not like to write under pressure. I write because writing has been a part of me for so long that I feel as if we have become inseparable friends who cannot live without each other. For me, writing is rewarding, almost therapeutic. It consumes all my bad energy, making me feel alive and vibrant. It is as if I escape to a beautiful oasis, where I can reconnect with my soul.Any tips for new authors?When a story is told, it is not forgotten. I strongly believe that the best stories live inside each of us. Look around and write! Let your stories see the world! Use your imagination and make your story uniquely yours. Write what you know, write what you feel, write what you love, write because you want to. When you are ready to publish your book, do your homework and make sure your book is professionally edited. Create a professional-looking book, one which will not get lost among the millions of poorly published books. Make your book one that you would want to buy for yourself or for your child. If you are a children’s writer, forget your age and envision your book as children would. Get involved in each illustration. Nobody knows and feels your book better than you do. Writing is an easy task; publishing and marketing is a business. These days, an author must also be a smart businessperson. To be a self-publishing author, you will have to learn every aspect of publishing. Lastly, when you publish your book, you will wish that the day had 48 hours, because there will be no time left for writing. Writers today must be very business oriented and be devoted to social media to promote their books. So do not quit your day job yet. Wait until you become famous.What is the current book(s) you are promoting?Currently, I’m working on many projects, including several new children’s books and short stories. I love to write children’s stories, but I also love to write in different styles. I just finished my first short story, The Little Girl Praying on the Hill. Now I am working on a new book, A Taste of Bread. I have also written many children’s stories, which are awaiting their turn to be published. English is a second language for me, and it takes me much longer to correct my writings before I submit them to the editor. I am very happy to announce that I just received the first printed copy of my new book The City Kittens and the Old House Cat, a beautifully illustrated, heartwarming Christmas book about sharing and giving. This year I am publishing four new children’s books:Good Morning, World! A happy and uplifting story about Baby Thomas and his grandpa. Baby Thomas wants to hug and embrace a beautiful world full of amazing things, but Grandpa takes the world very seriously. They see the same picture, but each takes a different approach. In this book, young readers will easily connect to the wonders of nature and unforgettable characters, playfully interacting with each other.Too Many Rules for One Little Mouseis the first in a series of books on the adventures of Carlo the mouse.
